    BackBurner distributed rendering for Infini-D 68K Macs

    I've looked high an low for a copy of BackBurner for my 68K Macs, it was a separate software product by Specular International that communicated with Infini-D across a network to distribute 3D rendering.

    Apple M1296 12" RGB: Loud bang

    Apple M1296 12" RGB: Loud bang

    Powered on my M1296 CRT this morning and bang, a visible bright spark from underneath the case and a tripped breaker in the house.  Does anyone know what this is likely to be? I'm willing enough to go ahead and start cleaning and recapping, but don't want to bother if it's something more...
